Looks like the video was shot at our own I-57 drag strip.

Barely streetable with that rearend.

Interesting opinion.

I have always had an 8 3/4 under my Cuda. Ran high 6's at that track with the 499" wedge. Have a 540 Hemi in front of it now. Drag radials always.

I rebuilt it every few years when I had it to the track regularly. But that was due to the noise on the street, not due to failure. It has been together this time for 6 years. Several thousand street miles. But not much track time. And it's still quiet.

Just my experience.

It's the 4.30 with a SPOOL. Spool on the street is rough in my experience and the ratio will keep the rpm pretty high. Depending on the exhaust system that could make street driving miserable.

In the early '70s I had a SB '57 Chevy with a T10 & 4.88s - drove it everywhere, and street-raced it a lot.
(Lots of open spaces back then for that kind of foolishness.)
Posi was so tight the inside tire would chatter on a tight turn from a stop.
I drove that thing on SoCal freeways for a few miles at a time, daily for a while, and it was BUSY - like 5,000 RPM busy.

I don't recall driving it in the rain, though, and never ran the canyons in it.
I think those scenarios are where a spool on the street could be ill-advised.

More to the point of the ad, though: a video of it on track, but did I miss its ET/MPH ?

My Scamp had 4:30s and a spool. Miserable on the street.

Baaaa... got one S60 with a spooled 4:30 and another with a 4:56 spool. Never a dull time. Build to run in the 3500-7500 RPM range and with a good vert.... no problems.

A good seat is the key.

A friend ( now deceased) had a '71 roller cammed 340 4 speed Duster, his had
an 8-3/4 with 4.56's and 11" slicks... ALWAYS street driven the entire time he owned it.

But did it have as spool or suregrip? The ratio isn't as bad as living with a spool making city corners. You either spin the tires around the corner or hop like a rabbit. Been there done that didn't live with it for long.

His Duster used a sure grip unit...SS springs, DC offset shackles, and an old school DC pinion snubber.
It was an original 340 4 speed car too.
